The Fated Queen 61: Willow
Well... This is... Uhm...Willow glanced about Aiden's semi destroyed living room with a slightly perplexed expression. The remnants of black ichor stained the wooden floor, leaving behind streaks to whatever creature was here. That should have been an eyesore if not for the silver haired Demon that sat cross-legged on the floor and the young girl braiding his hair as if they were long-time friends. Even Nol, wait, Myra had called him Xander, seemed uncomfortable by the intense glares he was receiving from both Jayce and Aiden. Lily seemed unsure of what she was witnessing, but it was also evident in her expression that she felt relief that her children were alright overall. Rayleigh, per usual, didn't seem phased nor interested in the turn of events, but Zalakai found great amusement in all of it. Amira stood close by to Aiden, keeping a watchful eye mostly on the two Alphas than the Demon with the child. She knew what they were capable of and was aware they would cause more damage t

The firm soil crunched under the weight of his boots. The autumn air was brisk on his cheeks. Several other footfalls aligned with him. The soft embrace of Lily's fingers entwined with his settled his nerves. Slightly. The reassurance of what they were about to do wasn't enough for the Werewolf King. The tree line broke away to reveal the open dead clearing. It was only a few days ago when he charged through this forest and into this clearing. He didn't pay any mind to it before, but now that his head was remotely clear, he felt the heaviness in the air. There was an invisible weight in this clearing he hadn't felt before. A dark presence that lingered. He felt Nox stir within him. A low rumble in the back of his consciousness. A hunger. An intense craving to the darkness that haunted this place. Jayce felt ill at the thought. Lily squeezed his hand tightly. She felt his unease, just as it mimicked her own, but possibly for a different reason. Unlike the hunger his Wolf felt, he co

The weight of this place was heavy on her heart. As Jayce took a step back with the other men, the women surrounded her with both support and caution. She had a gist of what needed to be done, but still held the uncertainty of doing it. But the moment she knelt down and placed her hands on the ground, everything fell into motion afterwards. As if her powers surged forth on their own accord based on the emotions and thoughts she carried. Her desire? To rid this place of the darkness that consumes it. She could hear the humming in her ears and nothing else. Perhaps that was for the best. If she heard anyone or anything else, she wouldn't have been able to concentrate. "A-Amira..." A haunting voice drifted through her subconscious. Lily focused on the voice that probed against her thoughts. There was a presence within this cloud of death that blanket this space. No. There were two. "She's grown." A woman spoke. Her voice was tinged with nostalgia and longing. "Keep her safe." A man

He crossed his arms over his chest as he bear witness to the scene before him. He knew the wind was played by Willow's Magic. Yet, the moment Lily's eyes turned white, it took every nerve in his body not to react. He wasn't aware of what was to happen, but he knew he trusted her. "She's a big girl." Zalakai's mocking tone caused Jayce to bristle with annoyance. "She's finally come to terms with what she is." "Out with it, Demon." Jayce growled as he side eyed him. Zalakai smirked deviously. His black eyes took on an eerie shine. "You can't continue to ignore it." "Leave him alone, Zal." Aiden warned him. "We're all on the same team." "On the contrary..." Zalakai held up a finger. "I'm team Rayleigh. If any of you fools died, I couldn't care less." "In that case, why stick around?" Jayce asked him. "If you're only here for the woman, you could easily stay hidden, yet you bother us with your presence." "Your majesty, I'm hurt." Zalakai feigned pain as he pressed his hand to his

Waves crashed against the cliff side. The warmth of the glaring sunlight seeped into her cheeks. The vast ocean before her was a sight she had seen once before. Stone steps led up to a crumbled temple. History etched in the cracks of the stonework. "This is unexpected." Her soothing voice reached Lily's ears. Azura grumbled pleasantly. Lily spun around, finding Leto standing on a lower step with her Wolves at her side. She hadn't aged a day. Suppose a Goddess wouldn't truly age. Leto smiled warmly with her hair draped over her shoulder in a braid. Brass leaves adorned through the twists of her hair. Seeing her again brought down emotions Lily had fought to keep locked away. Anger, mostly, but also relief. "Who is that, Lily?" Amira's voice broke through her. Lily swiveled around and found not only Amira close by, but Willow and Rayleigh as well. "A Goddess..." Willow's words came out in a breath as her knees wobbled for a moment, but Rayleigh steadied her. "If I had known I was

The presence of the Goddesses was overwhelming. It surprised her that her knees hadn't buckled yet. Leto's kind and welcoming smile. Hecate's cool yet stern gaze. Artemis's curious incline of her head. It was an unexpected trio to come across. But perhaps, not so much unexpected. Lily was the first to follow Leto up into the ruined temple. The Wolves that acted as a barrier had curved around Lily as well in the same protective manner. Though, she believed it was more so for the sake of the Wolf that resided in Lily now than the Human counterpart. Amira took her place alongside Artemis without question. The Huntress placed a hand on Amira's shoulder and gave her a squeeze of reassurance. There was a silence between them, but words didn't need to be spoken. There was an understanding between them that a shared look was the only thing necessary. Rayleigh trailed along after Amira quietly. She seemed out of place here. Was she questioning her own beliefs? Willow was aware that Rayleig

What a way to stand out. Rayleigh silently observed the other women that accompanied their Goddesses. She was unaware of Lily's devotion to Leto or if there was devotion at all, but the Goddess seemed rather doting on her. Like a mother to their child. Then there was Amira alongside Artemis, but instead of a parental figure that Leto aired for Lily, Artemis and Amira were as colleagues. A mentor and student, perhaps. Artemis had taken off her bow and was going over step by step of its creation while Amira listened intently. Rayleigh was mildly aware of Amira dabbling with bows over the past year now before crossing the waters to retrieve the Werewolf Queen. She just wasn't aware of how seriously Amira was taking the Hunter role now. Rayleigh glanced back as Hecate, a towering presence, glided in alongside Willow. Willow, a soft and innocent woman, looked out of place beside the night Goddess. Hecate, who not only radiated with otherworldly beauty but also had a confidence about he

"Explain to us what you have learned so far of Karmina." Hecate requested as she linked her hands in front of herself. "She's tucked herself away in an abandoned mansion a previous Werewolf King had lived in." Amira stated. She reached into her back pocket and pulled out a folded up map she had put there earlier. She laid it out over the table. "Based on Willow's previous visions, the location is marshlands surrounded by plains or dead trees." "Would you know the locations of where Nox was at one point?" Lily asked Leto. Leto inclined her head with a slight frown. "I am afraid once I gave life to the Werewolf King, his whereabouts were none of my concern." "And that is where you failed." Hecate clipped. Willow gave the Goddess a stern look, and the deity turned her chin away. "You're not exactly guilt-free here either, Hecate." Willow added in. The Goddess scoffed softly, but her posture eased slightly. "Even when we questioned Xander, he has a minimum recollection of how they

The Fated Queen 84: Willow
"You ready for this?" Dante asked her. Willow had been pacing in front of the bed in one of the spare guest rooms in Jayce's house. "What if no one listens, Dante?" She voiced her concerns. Her fingers fidgeted with one another as she paced. "What if I'm the only one in this fight with my Magic?" "There is no harm in trying." Dante rose to his feet and placed his hands on her shoulders to stop her pacing. "Pixie, even if we can't get a single Light Witch to help us, we will still win." "How do you have such confidence?" She asked him, her brows furrowed. "Karmina is far stronger than I am. What if I fail? What if we fail because I'm not strong enough?" "Darling." His voice was firm yet soft as he gently silenced her. His hands ran down her arms from her shoulders until they grasped her hands. "You are the strongest person I have ever met." He released one of her hands to brush back the long strands of her bangs from her eyes. His thumb brushed along her cheek. "You lost so much, b
The Fated Queen 83: Jayce
"Alright, so, how are we doing this? What is the final plan?" Damien asked, finally able to join the group after what had happened. Erica stood at his side, supporting him with a hand on his back. His Beta stood strong, but Jayce could see the weariness etched into his facial features. The damage he had gone through with losing his arm was far more than he could ever comprehend.The living room was packed with everyone. Xander had the children pre-occupied in another room. The only ones that were vacant still were Zalakai and Rayleigh. He couldn't deny the relief he felt not having that damned Demon in his presence. "We have her location. Sort of." Willow stated as she spoke up. She shifted her gaze to Jayce. "Thank you again for helping me." Jayce inclined his head slightly as a soft growl vibrated within his mind. "That was more Nox than me, but you're welcome." "I definitely missed out on some stuff." Damien eyed Jayce curiously. Jayce side eyed him with a look that Damion caug
The Fated Queen 82: Zalakai
"Dammit, Zalakai!" Rayleigh's angry shout filled the room. He sat on the edge of the bed, his hands linked in front of him. He convinced her that his father may have information on how to handle Karmina in his study. Except... "It's for your own good, Ray." He told her for the fifth time now. Rayleigh struggled against the restraints. After fooling her to come back with him, he trapped her on the same wall that restrained her on her first visit to his domain. The hands tightened their grips on her wrists. "My own good?" She growled. "You have no right." "No right?" He asked as he rose to his feet and approached her. "I have more right than you realize." "Free me. Now." Her eyes narrowed. His symbol on her chest hummed softly. The pull to succumb to her command nearly crippled him. He gritted his teeth against the demand. "No." He snarled, his face turned away as he struggled against their pact. "This isn't a damn game, Zalakai!" Rayleigh shouted again. "The longer I'm down here

Her heart was in her throat. As she stood in front of the Pack House. Jayce, after making the call, was informed that Damien was still at the Pack House, recovering. As well as Erica being at his side. "Do you need a moment?" Jayce asked her as he held open the door. Lily let out a shaky breath. "No. No more waiting." Jayce gave her a small smile as he took her hand and led her inside. The Pack House was busy. His Warriors were preparing with all weaponry available in their arsenal. Jayce's men looked relieved to see them again. Each one arched their necks in respect as they walked past. "It's an adjustment." Lily smiled awkwardly. "Having gone to a Rogue community who don't care what title you carry, to a home where everyone looks up to you." "It was a small reprieve." Jayce admitted. His hand grasped hers. "For once, not having others turn to me as their leader, but just as another Wolf." His eyes softened. "It was a different perspective, but a necessary one." "Jayce..." Lil
The Fated Queen 80: Jayce
Home. He set the bags on the bed, his eyes swept the room. It had only been a week since they departed from here, but it seemed like months since they've been gone. There was much to do before the battle happened. The talk with the other Alphas. Finalizing safety protocol with the Pack members that hadn't left. Damien. "Damien." He murmured softly. He hadn't heard anything after what had happened. Aside from being stabilized, he hadn't heard from his Beta, his best friend. Was he alright? Angry? Disappointed? "Jayce?" Lily's soft voice reached his ears from the doorway. He hadn't heard her come to the room. "Do you want to see him?" "I will." He reassured her, but hesitance still lingered. Lily sensed it and walked over to wrap her arms around his waist. "Everything will be okay. I'm sure he missed you just as much as you missed him." "Will you confront Erica?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "The last time you two were together, it wasn't pleasant." Lily
The Fated Queen 79: Lily
The familiar foyer was a sight for sore eyes. The warmth and security of their home was a long wait that was overdue. Everything appeared as it should. No Undead wandering about. No decaying wallpapers or blood streaks of violence. Tidy. Clean. Home. Lily released a breath she didn't realize she was holding. "We're back." She whispered. "I never realized how much I missed home until a situation occurs." Jayce voiced alongside her. The tension in his shoulders easing slightly. His nose wrinkled as he picked up the scents. "I'll be..." "Jayce? Lily?" A young male voice chipped in from the kitchen. A tall, more on the slender side version of Jayce peeked his head from around the kitchen doorway. His short black hair pushed back from his face as he grinned. "Shit, you're home." "Elias." Lily smiled instantly as Jayce's younger brother walked over to greet them. "How long have you been here?" She asked as she hugged him. "It feels like I haven't seen you in months. When did you get so
The Fated Queen 78: Aiden
"Are you sure you don't want to wait another day?" Aiden asked Willow as they all walked down the dirt road. "I don't think one more day won't hurt us if you need to gather yourself after that ordeal." A handful of children ran by, laughing like the fight to come was nonexistent. Carefree regardless of the nightmare his community suffered through just a few days ago. Willow shook her head adamantly. "We can't continue to delay every time Karmina throws a wrench in our plans." "I'm afraid she's right." Dante agreed. He had discarded his ichor stained vest and switched out his slacks for a fresh pair. "As much as I desire a reprieve from Karmina's stunt, the longer we hold off, the stronger she will get." "Will Winston cover for you in the mean time?" Lily asked as her eyes swept over the shops and houses they walked past. "I trust Winston to keep things running no matter what." Aiden adjusted the strap on his shoulder. "Besides, my mom will also be here." He felt Amira's quick gla
The Fated Queen 77: Lily
Willow's gasped loudly before she coughed heavily. "Willow!" Dante wrapped his arms around her after Jayce released her and stepped away. She dry heaved while she clung to Dante. "My sweet Pixie, what on Earth happened to you?" He pushed her hair back from her face. "Karmina had her." Jayce coughed, his voice partially warped. He ran a hand over his face as he turned away from everyone. Lily walked past Willow as Dante tended to her and approached Jayce. "Nox?" She called out gently as she placed a hand on Jayce's arm. His body tensed under her touch. His fingers parted enough to show his Wolf eyes. "Are you alright? Did she hurt you to?" Lily asked worriedly. He let out a sigh. While he kept a hand over his face, perhaps not to alarm the others, his other hand rested over hers. "It's strange diving into someone else's mind that is not my Mate or children." He admitted gruffly. "Perhaps you see them as part of the Pack more than you realized." She stated. Jayce lowered his hand
The Fated Queen 76: Jayce
"Willow?" Dante's concerned tone drew Jayce's attention, along with the others. As he peered back, he found Willow stock still just past the entryway. Her eyes glazed over milky white. Dante had taken her hand in his, his eyes searching her face as he waited. "A vision?" Amira asked as she set a foot on the first step. "It's nothing out of the ordinary." Aiden huffed softly as he switched his grip on one bag. "She'll come out of it in a moment." Dante reassured, yet his shoulders appeared tense. "Her visions don't hurt her, do they?" Lily asked worriedly as she stood beside Jayce. "No. They're pretty harmless." Dante confirmed, as he brushed Willow's bangs from her eyes. "She told me they feel real while she's... away." He tilted his head from side to side as he tried to explain. "But no physical harm." Jayce studied Willow carefully. The way her brows seemed to draw just a fraction closer together. The way her lips part in the slightest bit. "Does she normally react outwardly
